Y R O T S HI E H T F O sometimes look back to the way this league began and ponder all the things that could have buried it before it even started.

I

I can’t even start to measure the hours I’ve spent on the FFL over the years, not to mention the joy and pain it has brought me (MC Rob Base would be proud). And to state the obvious, I like to think I’m not alone in those sentiments. In the beginning, if Biv and I hadn’t pulled off the miracle of getting this thing off the ground, the FFL and all that it encompasses never exists. Thank God I was blessed with the natural high-pressure sales tactics normally reserved for the showroom floor

of your local discount furniture wholesaler, because without them, we’d have four or five eager owners trying to start a league that would envy the shelf life of the USFL. In 1996, Biv and I were doing what most underage college kids were doing – going to school, scrounging for beer - and money for beer – and, of course, trying to find girls who were willing to take their clothes off and lay down with us. Living off campus that year, we didn’t know many people outside of our employers – Biv was a waiter at the Iowa River Power Company, an upscale restaurant on the edge of Iowa City and Coralville, while I worked part-time at an AM/FM radio conglomerate – AM 800 KXIC and 100.7 KKRQ, the Fox. As football season approached and we imagined life without hot, sizzling fantasy football action, we decided to take the bull by the horns and create our own league. The first call was easy – our close pal Kyle Phillips wasn’t local, but that certainly wasn’t a requirement. You could be serving life at Riker’s and manage a team in our league if you happened to have phone privileges on draft day. So KP was in it to win it, which gave us a solid three. FX’s The League many years later would teach us that “12-team leagues are where it’s at”, but at this juncture, we knew we’d be lucky to get half that. The next call was pretty obvious as I may have been living on my own, but a lifetime spent as a mama’s boy had taught me there was nary a problem my mom couldn’t solve. Sure, Milt wasn’t going to be interested in playing - he had never played fantasy football and trying new things has never been his sweet spot – and for that matter, my mom’s football knowledge wasn’t vast – though she did know enough to call Broncos draft bust Jeff Lewis a “dildo.” But when the formality of Milt declining the invitation had taken place, the promise of getting to do something together with her family was easily enough to get Kathy to pull the trigger and grant life to the Amana Armadillos, a franchise still operating today as Milt’s NPTY (if you know the meaning of the acronym, you can quickly see its origin). This is where things began to get dicey as finding some semblance of a local ownership core was considered a must, and an immediate hurdle to clear. Scott Kauzlarich was the Production Manager for both radio stations and was a married man with a penchant for talking trash and who possessed a higher opinion of his skill set than was actually the case. A quick jab at his beloved Minnesota Vikings and a play on his ego and the FFL had its first villain - “The Kauz” (picture The Boz without the cool hair and talent). Next, we turned to Heather Willard, an on-air personality for The Fox. As you can read in further detail in her bio, Heather was alleged to have housed some NFL penis years prior and was our natural next target. Also a rabid fan of the Vikings, Heather excelled at and loved to be one of the guys, so she was an easy add. This was a strong addition for other reasons as she became a steady source of Busch Light in our Seville Apartments fridge that year. With six owners in the fold, Biv and I could smell the finish line, needing only to add one more pair for a serviceable circuit.

surrounding the drafting of fantasy football powerhouse Jacob Tamme. While Leif and I patched things up in the weeks to come, the hurt feelings were severe enough to keep us from talking the rest of the weekend. Because nobody takes the TE2 for granted. As one of my closing tales, I’d be remiss if I didn’t at least mention the five year run of the annual FFL tradition that is the fuzzball tournament. And in the interest of avoiding a slew of angry cat-calls, I’ll keep it brief. Going into the 2009 draft, we scheduled our first fuzzball tournament with the teams being randomly chosen with the guideline of each player’s skill level meant to keep it fair. Over the six years that the tournament was played, one team won all five championships and only once did they lose a game. Ryan Dobson, Nick Thompson, and myself formed the Majestic Lions – a nearly unbeatable crew named after a Las Vegas slot machine, and the finest crew of fuzzballers the FFL has ever seen. To be quite honest, the memories are far too numerous to even begin to recount them all. There have been so many laughs, a bevy of arguments, countless injuries, and enough stories to keep us all from running for office; but for me, it all boils down to one thing: the family that this league has become. Regardless of where our travels

The Majestic Lions celebrating their fourth title.

take us and what curveballs life throws our way, I know that every August, this crazy league will bring us all together in some capacity. I can honestly say that I can’t count the people in the FFL family that I truly love on two hands…and without the FFL, who knows where some of those relationships would be. And before I close, I want to take the opportunity to remember fondly one more time the FFL owner that I love the most…my mom, Kathy Detter. The 2012 season was a very difficult one for me as the bulk of the first four weeks was spent at Mercy Hospital in St. Louis, watching the league mom pass away from pancreatic cancer. But as time has passed, while she’ll never be forgotten, I have begun to enjoy remembering how much Kathy meant to the FFL. A charter member, she would show up at every draft, armed with snacks and Milt’s famous salsa, and would hug all her “boys” before sitting down. It didn’t take much to be Kathy’s boy – just a smile, a hug, and to be a friend of mine…and she died with the love and respect of so many members of our FFL family. This league will never be the same for me now that she’s passed, but when Scott McGill initiated the annual toast and moment of silence for Kathy, I knew we’ll always be able to honor her in some way. Here’s to you, Mom, and here’s to you, FFL. I love you both…

Y B R A YE YEAR

.17


1996 he FFL’s inaugural campaign was the sole season in which only eight teams participated; and of those four, only three have remained in the league uninterrupted since that time. Fittingly, however, two of the first playoff teams are among those still kicking in today’s FFL: the Amana Armadillos – now known as Milt’s NPTY, and the commissioner’s Parlay Quick-6. And while the Parlay will forever be known as the first ever FFL champion, it was a pair of Asses that grabbed the headlines for most of the season. Heather Willard’s Ass Whupers finished second in the Ring-Worm to the Armadillos, but brought a team to the playoffs with three All-FFL performers and the second highest scoring percentage in the league. Don Russom’s Ass Kickers, meanwhile, averaged nearly 20 points per game fewer than the rest of the playoff teams, but managed to snare the final wild card spot at 8-6. As a bit of a foreshadower for the many years to come, the playoffs started with an upset as the Kickers knocked off the Whupers to reach DeBerg Bowl I. In the other first round tilt, the Parlay played the Dillos in the first of several postseason battles the two teams would have over the years, with the younger Detter coming out on top. DeBerg Bowl I was decided, as history has retold a number of times, on one of the most famous plays in league history. With the Parlay clinging to a slim lead late in the Monday Night contest, Miami LB John Offerdahl stuffed Ass Kickers RB Thurman Thomas at the goal line to seal the Parlay title. Greg Detter won the first of 11 GM of the Year Awards, while the Armadillos’ Terrell Davis was the league MVP. Interestingly, the Parlay’s selection of current felon Lawrence Phillips won the FFL’s first ever Worst Draft Pick Award.

2014 he early 2010’s may heretofore be remembered as the era when a long-time FFL competitor would have their dream season after many difficult ones, face the Parlay in the championship, and break either a career drought or a multi-year spell to win the title. It happened every year from 2010 to 2013 and 2014 would prove to be no different. With two weeks remaining in the regular season, the Parlay had clinched the Tape Worm en route to the fifth highest scoring average of all-time at 128.1. Meanwhile, Scott Norris’ Big Audio Dynamite was in the back of a very tight pack in the Wild Card chase. With just the two remaining games on the schedule, it would take nothing short of a miracle for B.A.D. to land the final playoff ticket, but they don’t call him the Lucky Man for no reason. Everything broke perfectly for B.A.D. as they stole the Wild Card from Milt’s NPTY in the Monday Night game of Week 14, setting up a first round battle with Clockwork Orange. When lucky meets unlucky, you know what’s going to happen, and that was exactly the case as the top seeded Clockwork dropped their sixth consecutive playoff game in the last eight seasons. The Parlay, meanwhile, ruined the FFL return that was the amalgamation of Karma’s Blitz and Tyler Gall’s West Nile franchise – knocking off West Nile Blitz 122-67. DeBerg Bowl XIX was a rematch of the 2009 championship – the game that started the Parlay run of six straight DeBerg Bowl appearances – but this time, the result was entirely different. Scott Norris needed a little luck one more time as they managed 106 points, which was 23 fewer than the Parlay’s averaged, but 20 more than Detter’s team turned in when it mattered most. The B.A.D. victory brought Norris his first FFL Championship in 14 years. WNB’s QB Andrew Luck won the FFL MVP, seemingly representing a changing of the guard among FFL leaders.

Solon Boy between Heather and Greg Detter.

Andy “Solon Boy” Landgrebe

Josh Makaruk

YEARS IN LEAGUE: 2 (2001-2002)

REGULAR SEASON RECORD: 12-16

REGULAR SEASON RECORD: 17-11 POST-SEASON RECORD: 0-0 TITLES WON: None THE HISTORY: “Solon Boy’s” team infamously holds the mark for highest career winning percentage without a playoff berth. In fact, they are the only team in league history to compile a career mark over .500 yet never make the post-season. Andy was a key player in the lives of the Iowa City boys for a few seasons, even standing in Greg’s Jamaica wedding. One time during his FFL career, Andy tapped out after being choked by Biv, and later that same evening after a rowdy poker night, he was lifted into the air and dropped painfully onto Coralville’s 13th street pavement by Greg himself. On another occasion, Solon Boy was infamously implored to “launch it, Solon Boy” on a wide receiver Hail Mary pass before halftime of an intramural flag football game – a fateful heave that landed in the hands of Greg for a hilarious touchdown. Shortly after that play, this self-professed football savant had to be instructed on the nuances of a double move by Biv. WHERE IS HE NOW: After a few years living in his Graceland – Chicago’s Wrigleyville – Andy returned to Iowa City where he holds a sales role for his father’s company, Landgrebe Enterprises. He continues to dabble as an amateur comedian in his spare time, and is sure to point out instances where the money is, in fact, in the hills.

.66

YEARS IN LEAGUE: 2 (2003-2004) POST-SEASON RECORD: 0-1 (.000) TITLES WON: None THE HISTORY: A former late-college roommate of Biv, Josh Makaruk was one odd cat. Known in fantasy circles for annoyingly naming his team exceedingly lengthy acronyms (O.T.A.S.L.O.G., for example) or condiments like Duck Sauce. Josh’s initial foray into the league netted a stellar 9-5 regular season campaign and a first round playoff exit, while his second and final year was the opposite – a dreadful 3-11 year. WHERE IS HE NOW: After departing the FFL, Josh studied abroad in Scotland and married his college sweetheart Meryl. After living in Australia for a few years, the happy couple has since relocated to Leicester, East Midlands in the United Kingdom where Josh works for the energy conglomerate British Gas.

Greg Detter

Greg with Ryan Dobson and Nick Thompson, celebrating Fuzzball Championship number two in 2010.

YEARS IN LEAGUE: 19 (1996 -) TEAM NAME: Parlay Quick-6 FORMER TEAM NAMES: Parlay Salute (1999) REGULAR SEASON RECORD: 182-83 (.687) POST-SEASON RECORD: 17-10 TITLES WON: 5 (1996, 2002, 2003, 2009, 2010) THE HISTORY: The league’s all-time winningest owner, the “Commish” started the FFL as a University of Iowa sophomore and roommate of Biv. Together, the two have been the heart and soul of the league for 20 years, constantly pushing the circuit to new heights. Detter tabbed his team the Parlay Quick-6 as a reference to his love of sports gambling, only changing the moniker for the disastrous 1999 season that saw the “Parlay Salute” go 5-9 (not to mention the beginning of the end for Detter’s beloved Broncos and Terrell Davis). The Parlay franchise has made the playoffs in 15 of 19 seasons and holds myriad league records including championships (5), wins (182), playoff wins (17), DeBerg Bowl appearances (12), DeBerg Bowl losses (7), and consecutive DeBerg Bowl appearances (6). Entering the FFL’s 20th season, the Parlay has appeared in 6 consecutive DeBerg Bowls, losing four consecutive. During the first seven seasons of the FFL, Detter worked as a news and sports broadcaster for KXIC Radio, a sister station of KKRQ, 100.7 the Fox. 13 of the FFL’s all-time owners worked for one of these stations at some point, while several others were relationships that spawned as a result of Detter’s role with KXIC. In fact, while Detter and Biv began to fashion the FFL, they obviously had no idea that the circuit would turn into what it has become, but also likely wouldn’t have been able to field enough owners without employees of these Iowa City radio stations. BEST SEASON: The FFL’s historical paradox of the best teams not winning the championship is not more plainly evident anywhere than with the Parlay. They have posted at least 11 wins in a season five times and have only won one title in those campaigns, including the two best records in league history – 12-1 in 1997 and 13-1 in 2013, both of which resulted in a DeBerg Bowl loss. The 2009 Parlay club was likely their best championship team, going 11-4 with a 115.6 scoring average, culminating in two 10 point-plus victories in the post-season, including a 122-112 win over Big Audio Dynamite in DeBerg Bowl XIV.

PERSONAL: Greg had not yet met his college sweetheart, Heather Dunn, when the FFL began. A year and a half later, they began dating (off and on) and the two were married before the 2002 season. They have three kids – Dyson (9), Aleka (6), and Quinn (2) and reside in St. Louis, MO where Greg is a Regional Director for Creative Circle. WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT GREG: “My favorite all-time Greg memory is easily the infamous 2011 (or maybe it was 2012) hospital visit. What started out a bit scary turned into one of the best times I’ve ever had in my life.” – Paco Guyton “Greg eats Now & Laters with the best of ‘em. I have had many years of practice saying bad things about him. I suppose just this once I should say that I am very thankful for all the work he puts into this league. He’s made it much better than all the others, which never could keep my attention very long. It’s probably just because Egg knows that victory, victory, victory is sweet.” – Karma Collins “Greg Detter has somehow become a valuable friend and sounding board. That’s weird because I don’t like it when people get more attention than I do. He’s on a very short list of people I choose not to initiate a contentious engagement on their home turf. I would call him my best friend that which I do not know whether or not I am taller, which one of us would get odds on a battle of wits to the death, nor whom is more likely to use an oxford comma improperly. Great owner and a fine sir.” – Tyler Gall “The glue that holds us all together. Without Greg, this league isn’t possible. It all started in 1996, and somehow everything has gone smoothly without the aid of a big fantasy site. Juggling a career, family and children activities is impossible for us all, but GD still manages to author several sentences on every match-up weekly during the season. I know I’m not the only owner who waits for their email to update at the end of MNF so they can see the newsletter, which is sometimes after midnight. Oh, and sorry about pooping on your floor/property that time or times. I’m happy to call Greg a very close chum, and I wear the friendship with honor. #vegas2012” – Kyle Phillips “Playing Greg sucks. Inevitably, a trade I made with him three weeks previously comes back to haunt me.” – Scott McGill “It just amazes me how Greg churns out winners every year, and all the energy he puts into making the FFL a unique and awesome thing. I’m thankful that I’ve been able to be along for the ride these past 20 years. That said, I’ll still never forgive him for knocking me off in DeBerg Bowl XV.” – Biv
